Oh yeah, I have that whole other "Ferstus" thing, don't I?

[thehefner]

First off, an announcement and reminder: for those interested in seeing me in FAUSTUS, I will be playing the good doctor, Cap-Slayer, and all-around not-savvy consumer on the second weekend. Which is to say, Friday June 1st (with 777666 as Mephistopheles) and Saturday June 2nd (with Mike Galizia as Meph). The weekend before, Faustus will be played both days by the incomparable jcsbimp.

More info available at rudemechanicals.com/faustus. I'll issue a reminder later on, rest assured.

I still wish I could have thought of a neat design for "I KILLED CAPTAIN AMERICA," though. Ah well.



And secondly: big, big thanks to little_dinosaur, kmousie, and adaptor for your MUCH-appreciated help and advice for my HEFNER MONOLOGUES manuscript cover letter. I sent it into the agent yesterday, so now we play the sub-"Hungry Hungry Hippos" waiting game.

If she accepts, then we spend the even worse waiting game of at least six months until I hear anything back. Here's hopin' on both counts.

!!!

EDIT: Not three minutes after I posted this did I get an e-mail from the agency, saying they "would be happy to review THE HEFNER MONOLOGUES," and are ready for me to send it in at my convenience.

I think this calls for closing the comic store for five minutes, cranking up Oingo Boingo's "Not My Slave," and cutting loose.

And it's with the agency that rejected my first novel, interested enough to read a whole NEW book from me! Eee!

Thankee! I am sweaty, worn out, and very appreciative.

You're miiiiiine but you're not my slaaaaave...
Thanks, Hef. You've displaced P. Diddy's "Tell Me" in my head.

Get down with your bad self!
Dude, that's awesome. This calls for a "Mazel Tov", which is nice because it's used to mean "congratulations" but it actually literally means "good luck", which I think covers it. Mazel fucking tov!

And in all seriousness, I really wouldn't have had it ready at this point if it weren't for your in-depth line-by-line commentary and criticism. Mom was taking for-fucking-ever; exhausted depressives make the worst editors, always remember that. So thankee!

Oh hey, a reminder: this Sunday on adult swim sees the pilot episode of THE DRINKY CROW SHOW. You can currently watch it for free at adultswim.com. Just so you know.

Two words dude, kick...ass

[skalja.livejournal.com]

Whoa. CONGRATULATIONS!!!(11oneoneeleventy!etc.)

Mind you, I don't even know what agency this is, exactly, but I assume it's big news.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

It's the same literary agency that represents Brad Meltzer. So, yeah, big news. It'll be at least six months before I hear back from them if I've been accepted or not, so *fingers crossed*

Thankee!

I shall wave little flags of hope for you! *wavity-wave*
